Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Published: Jan 13, 2004

Private Actions

Private Actions are small side stories that you can find throughout the game.
They add to the backgrounds of all of the characters, and will eventually decide
which of the nine endings of the game you will see. Many Private Actions will
present you with a list of possible responses to another characters question.
Depending upon how you answer them, other characters will like you, or other
characters participating in the Private Action, more or less. Some Private
Actions will change relationships by simply participating in them without any
input by you. The following list is only a superficial look at how each Private
Action affects the relationships.
